Perhaps these things have felt like a dream and not a reality all of the time?</p><p><br></p><p>In 2026, as we follow Jesus, we want to be an inspired community responding to this Holy invitation. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>How do we Gather &amp; Grow?</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Gathering - building community. From crowd to community. Our mission is always on. Our whole lives are worship. What is Holy Spirit inviting us into?</li></ul><p><br></p><ul><li>Growing - becoming more like Jesus; contributing to community formation, centred on Jesus in contemporary culture.We want more people loving Jesus and part of community.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>The map is the mission. We are co-missioned to join what God is doing by His Spirit.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Where are you on the map? Where do you live or work? Where do you spend your time? Who do you connect with? How are we encouraging one another and choosing Jesus in all of our places and spaces?</p><p><br></p><p>Being on mission together is on purpose and with awareness of how we share Jesus. What is Holy Spirit inviting you into Soul, Home, Near and Far? </p>
